well. if it's brake feel you want...

def. get steel braided hoses, front & rear.
you'll lose a chunk of that squishy feeling.

if you've already changed.
Check if your brakes have been properly bled.

Ditto niteblu

Stock brake lines are rubber, which expand. It gets worse with age and use (exposure to elements, heat cycles, dust, etc). Steel braided hoses will reduce the spongey feel substantially but it may not be everybody's cup of tea - it also makes the brake feel a lot more sensitive, could take a bit of getting used to, especially if you're caught in a traffic jam :)
